I have two long bikes left too - 2.45hr run and 6 hour bike this weekend.
My Outlaw training is much the same as Meldys!
Just checked the diary and leaves 2 free weekends before the off, time for a scale down
At times I feel a bit like a newbie over on the VLM threads at the beginning of April. My main worry is screwing up eating & drinking on the bike so I end up walking the last 10k of the run. But training has gone OK so it'll be fine on the day. Barring mechanicals etc.
I have 3 long rides/bricks left. Sunday I'll get out early to find a fast group doing London-Brighton, back again and a run, then the next two weekends I've managed to combine a ride with a family weekend away, cycling from Epsom to friends in Cheltenham and Chipping Camden, with a short run planned after each.
Mrs CD is now coming out too, although we're hotelling rather than camping. Any suggestions on where she should head for as a spectator? Where are the pirate supporters going to be? Or is it too early to ask?
depends whether she wants to watch the swim start or stay in bed later!
Are you driving out? If she has a car to use, she can go south on the B2 and cut in to Hilpoltstein to see the swim, then return to Eckersmuehle to the "beer mile" to watch everyone biking past, finally back to Roth town to watch the runners coming in. Alternatively after the swim she can walk to the other side of Hilpoltstein (just follow the crowds) to the famous Solarer Berg climb and watch the cyclists there. If on foot or an MTB, another alternative is to head north along the canal from the swim area, then you cross the bike course and end up at the Lande, where the runners cross a couple of times heading in one direction then coming back across Lande to go the opposite way back into town. Lots of possibilities - you'll get a course map with your registration packet.
It's Nice next weekend, too.
IW - ace spectator info, thanks.
If there is a 15hr cut-off for Roth I presume your clock starts when your wave sets off?
I think I read as well the finish line/chute finishes at 11pm? If that is so why do the slower estimated times set off last?
MIn - it is for you. The end of the race is 1035 - Rodeo goes off at 0735. You go off at least an hour earlier (can't remember our time).
If you send the slowest first you make the bike course very congested and the race less safe. slowest last minimises the amount of overtaking and drafting. However, the very ancient (over 65s) do go early with the pros
You can concentrate on the next one
The relays go in the last two waves.They have actually less time to complete the course than us individuals do, obviously because each person's only doing one segment.
By the way, for those who are nervous, I don't think anyone has actually ever been pulled out. Last year's results show that there were finishers well over 16 hours.
